I did an NFS root install a while back. According to my notes I did the 
following to trick the installer into not requiring a target partition:

mount 192.168.1.1:/home/jawkins/devel/armlinux/guruplug-rootfs /mnt -o nolock
{ sleep 1; touch /var/log/setup/tmp/SeTnative; } & setup

Bit of a hack, but it did the job :)

Cheers,

Jim
